Hi, mums can be difficult........but would it be worth you going to see her on your own, when she is on her own ( that way there is no loosing face over her previous words)... and very quietly trying to explain how YOU feel about your new WOL, and why you feel you need to do it... and also how this WOL is rapidly gaining acceptance etc etc. Mums feel the need to protect their young, you are probably the same with you own children, and if all your Mum has heard is the "bad press" for this WOL, she's just trying to protect you! BUT...YOU and WE ( being all of us on this forum) know better eh? It can take quite a bit of convincing to convert some one, especially with all the low fat crap thats around, we've all been brainwashed! Sorry, starting to ramble now, so I reckon if talking to your mum doesn't work, just keep up with the WOL, and when she sees the difference in you ( which she will), surely she will support you and be happy for you.....Meanwhile, hang in there, don't let it get you down, your own health and happiness are too important!
